After nearly two decades, the Pasadena Californian Bistro 45 is still going strong, and on January 12th it's celebrating with a five-course feast of cassoulet, steamed mussels, sliced leg of lamb, chicken Provençale and profiteroles. Unlimited pours of four wines should keep things extra lively ($50 per person; reservations highly recommended, 626-795-2478).
